It looks like Chace Crawford is going to keep hanging out on the Upper East Side. Crawford will be join Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Ellen Barkin and Kiefer Sutherland in Joel Schumacher’s Twelve.
The Gaumont, Radar Pictures and Original Media flick will be based on a novel by Nick McDonell about drug addiction and violence among Manhattan’s wealthy youth. It follows a 17-year-old high school dropout who takes up drug dealing. Things get complicated when his cousin is viciously killed and best friend accused of committing the crime. Variety reports that production begins on April 20th in New York and the film should be ready for a winter 2010 release.
While there’s no official word on the roles each actor will take on, I’m going to put my money on Rory Culkin playing the high school senior turned drug dealer. Roberts will obviously take the book’s lead female character and Kiefer Sutherland perhaps the young dealer’s father. But remember, this is just speculation. I’m looking forward to see what Crawford has to offer. He’s known as Gossip Girl’s pretty boy and his last feature film, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, was nothing short of a disaster. If he's capable of anything now is the time to show it.
